"don't criticize China if they decide to shelter the most fucked up Orwellian dictator of our age, they might get angry!"

I know English is not your first language, but that's completely not what Sheilbh said.

[Tamas]

You are wrong.

[Eddie Teach]

I think any American politician with sense(yeah I know) would realize we're much better off with Kim in China than in North Korea.

At this point what I'm wondering is what effects a renewed conventional conflict would have on the economy of the region. and by proxy, the world economy. I don't know how much of South Korea's high tech economy operates directly out of Seoul and how much is relatively safely out of reach from conventional weapons.

[Tamas]

I cannot see a protracted conflict. The NK regime must be very fragile.

Still not appeasement.  China isn't the one saber-rattling, North Korea is.  Not criticizing China wouldn't appease North Korea.  If the US abandoned South Korea, that would be appeasement.  Allowing the ruling clique to escape justice in return for seeing North Korea dissolve peacefully is a good deal in my book.

Right, because a Chinese protectorate over NK would equal a regime change and reunification of the peninsula. Sure.

The situation was about the North Korean leadership fleeing to China, not China taking over North Korea.   Get the beets out of your ears.

Sheilbh talked about China giving shelter to Kim and co. And I was talking about the same thing.

I was under the impression that Shelf was talking about it in the context of the article of Kim and co fleeing the country, not giving shelter by taking over the country.

I wasn't talking about giving shelter by taking over the country, initially, either. But I suspect if the Chinese are stepping in so majorly, it will bear a price tag

[Martinus]

Sheilbh was talking about Kim being given shelter in China.

Btw, China taking over NK is still preferable to Kim ruling NK, both internally and internationally.

I WAS TOO

No, it isn't. It would become the Alsace-Loraine of the region.
